weak feeling, and buyers could not be in
duced to take hold freely even at liberal
shading of the prices of the day before. The
enormous receipts of 425 cars were rather
dayls figures. Same tables were profusely
covered, and a large share of the offerings
were carried away unsold. Old wheat
as well as new, shared the decline

Note-New wheat sells several cents below
old wheat of the same grade, as the present
demand is chiefly milling demand and new
wheat is not sufficiently matured for making
flour. The difference is greater in lower
rades.
Note-In sales of wheat by samples. grade
has little, if any, effect in making prices,
that being determined by quality and the
percentage of hard in each parcel.
Note-shippers would do well not to ship
the ''sweat," as it frequently sweats in the
car and inspects lower grade.

Flour-The demand continues for old
wheat flour, and some trades have been made
for new crop flour for forward delivery. The
will not probably yield SO strong percent
age of the upper grade. The price of new
wheat is cheaper than of old, but when the
loss of high grade flour is reckoned it may be
as dear. In consideration of these things,
and the other, that buyers want the new
product at less prices than they are paying
for the old, business is delayed in future con-
tracts There is not much doubt that Mime
apolis millers could, if they were to pull to-
gether, advance prices, as there are many
country mills idle and the markets are bare
of spring wheat flour. But if they should do
so they would thereby start SO many country
mills that the market would soon be glutted
with consigned flour, in the end doing them
selves more harm, perhaps, than temporary
advance would do them good. Patents,
